mitt romney debated against ted kennedy back in the '90s. he debated one on one when he ran for governor. he probably turned his campaign around when he ran for governor and won the governorship because of what happened in that debate. and listen to the republicans, don't listen to me because nobody's -- i'm, obviously, partisan. but just this morning on "morning joe," newt gingrich, who debated him many, many times, said that he got clobbered by him, that mitt romney, when he had to down in florida, literally turned things around, everybody saw that and knows that. mitt romney debated -- tim pawlenty said he's as good as a debater as there is, i'm telling you that because i debated him all the time. these are guys that ran against him. the fact is that mitt romney is very good debater. he's done a very good job. he's practiced and practiced and practiced and he's been flying around with, you know, the person playing obama on his airplane every minute. he's gone away and done five debates in 48 hours up in new hampshire or vermont or somewhe

here is the truth about obama and romney, neither a stellar debater. obama didn't shine in the democratic primary debates, biden won them. that's why obama picked biden. candidate obama had a tendency to ramble in the debates, got better during mccain one on ones. while romney did well in this season's gop debates, had rough performances, bet you $10,000 he did. romney performances, the unspoken body language that the camera captured, they were brutal against ted kennedy. ivy league will enjoy biden versus ryan more. trust me. >>> turning back to the brand new battleground polls. there's a different pattern emerging, president obama is ahead in new hampshire, tighter in nevada and north carolina. joining me, director of the marist poll. good to see you in person. >> welcome to the home of the new york yankees. >> you're going to blow the playoff run. >> i am worried. >> we want the beltway series in washington. we have been looking at this as sort of the generic, the general all nine states. what is your take away? >> i think what you're seeing is a ve

since you've debated mitt romney what advice would you give to barack obama? >> call bill clinton every morning. >> mr. speaker, if president obama is re-elected, as a historian and student and long-time strategist in the party is this more of a disaster for, and explain more by mitt romney being a bad candidate or will it say something about the weakness of the republican party? >> since we're going to keep the house seats and the senate and may end up with more governorships than 1921 i don't think it says much about the republican party. we have more legislative seats since 1925. we have more candidates of diversity. you look at susana martinez, nicki haley, a much bigger, broader party than the washington consultants understand. >> includes marco rubio. these aren't people on the margins. >> this is about a specific campaign with a specific set of problems, not about the broader republican party. if barack obama does win he faces an enormous decision the first three or four weeks after that election. is he going to govern like bill clinton or keep governin
